My mother read it at the insistence of others when she had her 1st set of babies, 10 years after it 1st appeared, and it was all the rage. She tossed it aside as "trash" and I trust her judgement even as a 20-year-old.

I still wonder how people did it for 1000s of years on their very own. ;-)

"The significance of the 1960s and the 1970s to America is that this was the era when these destructive philosophies penetrated beyond the elite universities, the Old Left, and the Northeastern WASP establishment into the general population."Good post and exactly right!

As I see it, there was a group of SHARP-elbowed opportunists who were determined to get ahead. While they convincED my whole class at Stanford to abandon our business roots and become "helpers", they went into corporations and have noW ended up in jail. Serves them right!

None of the leftists and countercultural icons you mentioned were baby boomers.
Um...that was my point.

I am amongst the crowd that had two 50's and moved right into the 70's. Skipping the 60's altogether except for the head shaking.
